Sword Master Who Leapt Through Time - Chapter 27



Only Krnovel

#27 Because I have thoughts about everything

Damn it.

As I take a step closer,

visor!

Ashley quickly drew her sword and met Uksala’s eyes.

Srrrrung!

Uksala nodded briefly, then pulled out his heavy greatsword and shouted.

“Red Warriors-!”

A loud scream rang out and a moment later,

Boom! Clang!

Doors were smashed and windows shattered in houses near the castle walls, and warriors in red leather armor rushed out.

Thump thump thump thump!

Their armor had iron strips sewn into every vital spot, making a loud noise as they ran.

I just burst out laughing.

“I heard there are 3 participants?”

Anyway, I’m telling you, you shouldn’t trust anything these lawless city guys say.

Ashley opened her mouth again, perhaps having some free time since joining the Red Warriors.

“Lansen! Don’t you know that if we continue like this, we’ll just end up destroying each other? It’s not too late! Stop being so reckless… …!”

Crunch!

The aura flew in after closing the distance by about 20 steps,

A noisy head rolls down.

“what……!”

“just now??”

“… … !!”

Uksala, Susjan, and Calceric.

The most powerful of the enemies all open their eyes wide in surprise.

okay.

You guys couldn’t react either?

You don’t understand what happened?

dump.

Ashley’s body falls limply.

I slowly lowered the sword I had drawn and opened my mouth.

“There are two things you’ll be wondering. Why didn’t you react to my sword? And how did you manage to pierce an expert-level aura shield with a mere aura shot?”

Everyone’s eyes are fixed on me.

You must be curious.

You guys won’t understand it with your common sense.

But for me, who had returned after learning ancient swordsmanship, it was a very natural result.

‘It’s a sword strike that comes straight out without any preparatory movement using a sword strike, so I can’t react.’

I know this because I learned it myself. I’m already faster, so how can I stop it if I can’t even tell where it’s starting from?

‘Aura shooting is an expert-level skill, but if you mix it with ancient swordsmanship, you can easily break through even a Needle Aura Shield.’

It’s thrilling.

Even if they were sword masters, four top-tier experts would be tough opponents… …. Right now, their necks looked so thin to my eyes. It looked like they would fall off if I just stretched out my hand.

Boom! Boom! Crunch!

Meanwhile, 40 Red Warriors formed a phalanx.

Gooooo-

The aura overflowing from the bodies of 40 people entangles with each other and covers the sky.

‘As expected, it’s pretty good.’

The sight of countless auras intertwined and becoming as strong as steel.

The dragon’s point was the great warrior, Uksala.

The moment he raised his aura and took the lead in the battle, it was as if the armor had descended upon the tenaciously woven aura.

Kuuuung!

The barrier of aura weighed heavily on the heavens and earth.

Even an Auror Blade would have a hard time piercing that.

‘Any decent sword master would really have to risk their life?’

Uksala spoke heavily, pointing his huge greatsword at me.

“Great Knight Lancen. Do you really have to finish him off?”

A drop of cold sweat runs down his forehead.

I ended up chuckling.

I’m not some kind of sword master.

“Mr. Wooksala. Just do one. Just one. If you want to bend, bend. If you want to attack, attack.”

I know.

Why is that old man doing that?

What, I’ll see you for a day or two.

“You must be feeling unsure about my sword after seeing it earlier. But is it a waste to put everything down and kneel down again after enjoying it so far?”

Uksala looks at me silently without answering.

Yeah. I can’t give up.

Although he is an excellent warrior, his greed and lust are beyond the pale.

I could go on and on all day long listing the names of families who lost everything to that guy and the couples who shed tears of blood.

Commander Suseon, who had been watching from behind, raised his voice.

“How arrogant. Do you think you can kill everyone you don’t like and survive in this city, or rather, in Roverland? How clean of a person do you think you are to do that?”

“No, it’s not like cleanliness or anything is important… … .”

What’s flashing through my mind now are the things that happened after that.

Children of broken homes. Illegitimate children of that bastard Uksala.

In this city,

Orphans keep being created like that.

But what good would it do to tell him this?

I scratched my head once and said.

“Just die.”

Kwaaang!

Kick the ground and move forward.

What unfolded before my eyes was a powerful chain of aura flowing between the warriors and the warriors.

Even a sword master would have a hard time breaking something like that.

If it were me a while ago, before I learned from Archduke Lightena, I would have had quite a hard time.

Crunch!

“no??!”

Bam!

“what!”

One sword, one sword, one head falls off.

What if it’s hard?

What’s the use if you can’t block the attack?

Of course, experts have aura shields… … but if you mix in some black energy, it’s like cutting a cucumber.

40 Red Warriors?

It’s honestly funny.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Sword grip.

The warriors gave up their heads without even reacting to the attack that the sword led on its own without any preparation.

‘If you don’t know, you have to be right.’

That’s what combat is all about.

When a new tactic appears, the side that was using the old tactic falls down helplessly.

If you fight with only a sword and meet an enemy wearing armor, you will die. If you fight only with melee weapons and meet a bow for the first time, you will die again. If you set up with only infantry and meet a cavalry, you will be busy running away.

For the warriors of this era, ancient swordsmanship was just that.

The Red Warriors continued to die without even knowing why they were dying.

“What, what are you guys doing! Everyone, come at me! That bastard Lansen, I’m going to kill them all! If we don’t join forces, we’ll all die!”

Uksala, feeling a sense of crisis, shouted.

It was not the Red Warriors, but rather the other organizations gathered in the hall.

At those words, those who were watching flinched.

I looked back at them and pushed their backs.

“That’s right. I’m going to kill them all. So everyone, come at me.”

Rather, Uksala furrowed her eyebrows at my actions that seemed to be helping her.

“What do you want to do now… …!”

“What do you mean, exactly? You’re saying you’re going to kill everyone.”

It wasn’t just talk.

It spread an eerie murderous aura in all directions.

“Ugh, euaaaah!”

If things continue like this, do you really feel like it’s your turn next?

Except for those classified by Sea in blue, those written in red and black on the death list all rushed at me at once, screaming.

“Good.”

The formation of the Red Warriors has already been half broken for a long time. Those who are rushing in are a rabble by my standards. They don’t even need an Aura Blade.

Ss …

Aura threads stretched out like unraveling threads and aura shooting flying through the air scattered all around.

Corn-

The leaves fly like fallen leaves in the sky.

It falls like hail.

Here’s the neck too.

There’s a neck there too.

“this guy!!!”

To turn the mood around, the Great Warrior of Uksala rushes in with his greatsword raised,

Crunch.

He took that life.

A single sword.

A cold silence falls over the noisy battlefield.

“Uh, crazy… … . No way. That, Grand Master… … ?”

Are you finally realizing the gap between us?

Commander Susjan, who had been waiting for my chance next to the Great Warrior of Uksala, turned around and ran away.

I can’t miss out on a big fish like that.

“Ouch!”

I chased him as he hid behind the red warriors and cut off his head.

And here comes the Auror thread again.

A red warrior group torn to pieces.

So, who’s our next opponent?

When I turned my gaze, I saw a large, middle-aged warrior with a very hardened face.

‘Oh, I forgot.’

The Brotherhood of Calceric.

The last top-tier expert left among the enemies.

Let’s move towards him, flicking the tip of our swords.

dump.

The leader, Calceric, immediately knelt down.

“Please save me.”

He bows his head and begs.

Hey,

I’m a bit weak to this kind of development.

Maybe it’s because I got down on my knees a lot in my younger days…

‘… …They’re not bad guys.’

A romantic man, one of the few in this Roverland who neither betrays his employer nor robs people.

Okay, I gave it a look.

“Kneel down there and put your hands up.”

As soon as he pointed the tip of his sword, Calceric and his men quickly raised their hands.

I passed by it.

I stood before the enemies who were standing like a rabble, looking at me.

‘Now that we’re all done, are there about 70 people left?’

Let’s see the end.

As we approached, causing an auror thread, the 70 people backed away hesitantly.

“Monster, monster.”

It’s so cliché.

I heard that kind of thing even when I was 20.

Phew!

He closed the distance in one breath and rushed forward.

Aura threads that can wrap around and shred five or ten people at a time.

Blood splatters everywhere.

The blood didn’t even touch my body.

It’s just blown away by the storm caused by the aura and the sharp sword energy that spreads out in all directions.

“Eww!”

“That’s… … I can’t beat that.”

The enemies began to fall one by one.

He ran away to the central heating system.

The infamous Red Warriors were no exception.

But from the moment they set foot in this place, there was no place for them to run away.

Wedge!

Plop!

Arrows flying from somewhere struck the heads of the fleeing enemies.

“Wherever you run! I’ll skewer you all! Archers!!!”

As Rivera Pietro suddenly got up and shouted, the archers who had been lying in wait on the rooftops of the houses also got up.

Squeak!

The sound of the bowstring being pulled echoes eerily.

“Don’t let a single one live!”

Rivera Pietro.

He leads the best archers in Kushan City and faithfully carried out the request I made yesterday.

The pouring arrows fill the sight of those fleeing for their lives with despair.

“Ahh!”

“Wasn’t there a 3 person limit? Eww!”

sorry.

I’m a lawless city punk after all.

“Kill him!”

“Don’t miss it!!”

Organizations on the blue list that we had previously communicated with also stepped forward.

Chase down the scattered enemies and knock them to the ground one by one.

In front, I’m holding my ground, behind me are Rivera’s archers, and in between, the blue organizations are running wild…

‘The situation is sorted out.’

The fight ended blandly.

“Phew… … .”

Among the scattered corpses, I briefly cooled down from the heat of battle.

Self-sacrifice.

I heard small footsteps.

A short girl approaches cautiously, avoiding the corpses and pools of blood.

Sea, who had her blue hair braided to one side and was looking around the battlefield with an expressionless face, sighed softly and spoke to me.

“They all died.”

“Yeah. I’ve cleared out everything above the red list.”

“… …Why did you do that?”

Neither reproach nor curiosity,

Sea just looked at me with her transparent eyes.

I just answered honestly.

“Because I thought of Seon.”

Seon, the youngest in our family at 6 years old, said he killed them all because he remembered the guy.

“Seoni?”

“Yeah. There’s a reason he became an orphan.”

“ah…….”

Sea’s lips opened slightly.

Seon’s father died after losing all his fortune on drugs, and his mother, who was left alone, was brutally murdered by the Red Warriors and died.

I don’t like that.

“I don’t like the way the number of orphans keeps increasing like this. I want the city we govern to be a city where children like Seon can live with a smile.”

“ah…….”

Sea nodded as if she understood.

“I understand why, but they are a necessary evil. They are pests, but without them, many more people would die.”

Her deep blue eyes stared at me.

“No matter how strong you are, you can’t subdue all the demons in that vast area by yourself, and if the demons aren’t subdued, this city will die.”

The guy was deep in thought, his face expressionless.

“… … I can’t think of a way. I need to gather enough power to defend the city… … . In the short term, it’s impossible… … .”

I ruffled the hair of the troubled guy.

“hmm!”

Sea quickly pulled her head out of my hands and looked up at me.

You punk. I used to like you.

“Sea. Trust me a little more.”

“huh?”

“I have a method in mind.”

“… … What is it?”

“How about excavating the ruins? There’s nothing that can make as much money and gather as many people as that.”

“Excavation of ruins… …? No way… … ?”

“Yeah. I went somewhere recently.”

Before we know it, the sun has set and the stars are rising in the sky.

I found one star that was particularly bright and did not move at all.

‘Mibavar, the goddess of wisdom.’

One of the 13 ancient gods, now forgotten.

I reached out and aimed at her, trying to match the angle my body remembered.

The Sword Master’s keen senses do not allow even the slightest error.

‘A little further north than here?’

It’s still clear.

Where the star rises at a slightly higher angle than here.

The place is right underneath it.

A place where a girl would look up at the sky every day and aim for the 13 gods.

The place that my senior, Iodine Serom, wanted to protect even at the cost of his life.

Glowing Steel, the city of knights.

It wasn’t far from here.

‘Senior… … In the end, did he protect that place and inherit the Master’s sword?’

Isn’t it so strange?

The person who was talking next to me until just yesterday is already dead and gone 10,000 years ago.

What would that life have been like?

Were you satisfied?

Will we ever meet again?

“surely.”

Sea interrupted me, breaking my rumination.

“If it’s an ancient relic, then it’s possible. But it depends on the type and scale. How big is it?”

The scale… … .

“It was a city with a population of about 200,000. The streets were filled with blacksmith shops. It was called the city of knights because excellent knights gathered there like clouds.”

“really……?”

Sea, who is always expressionless, raised her eyebrows in surprise.

I nodded confidently at the guy.

“Then. Your precious ancient weapon will be gleaming?”

Of course. Did he just run wild without any plan? He killed everyone because he had a plan.

If news of the excavation of Glowing Steel is known,

All the warriors of Roverland will shake their butts.
